What to do

How many times have you wished you knew what to do in a given situation? "Pray that I'll have wisdom", someone will say.

In Proverbs 2 it says it is the Lord that gives wisdom, and out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

The words of His mouth are written down for us to read.

2:10 and 11 say it well - "When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee."

God does not leave us clueless. There is so much instruction, knowledge, wisdom, etc in His Word.

But it often sits on the shelf unused, not taken advantage of.

And our problems and lack of direction get worse and worse. What an irony.

I want to know what it says - what my Creator says is the best way to face life's situations. His ways are perfect. Not easy - perfect. And they bring peace in the midst of the storm.
